As an Honors College student, you will study wide-ranging topics with a focus on integrating topics for holistic learning. The College’s advanced and intellectually rigorous classes are ideal for those looking for a challenge.  Beginning in the freshman year, students participate in Advanced Freshman Studies where they receive advanced studies in science, social sciences, humanities, mathematics and foreign languages, along with an introduction to the interdisciplinary approach to the “Forum” course. 

Successful participants are then invited to join the Honors College program in the sophomore year based on their grade performance, high school preparation, and SAT scores as well as recommendations from University and high school instructors.
